Fuel tank on the GTI is 50L. The R has a slightly bigger tank (55L) but it's also thirstier.

I cant get 30 mpg on my DSG Gti, im not exactly Ayrton Senna these days either!

Its always 29.something to the gallon. My old manual Mk6 used to be slightly better I think.

Google suggests 55 ltr. My manual GTI averages about 35mpg but I can get up to 45 if I'm behaving myself.

On journeys where I used to average 27/28 mpg on my mk5 Gti dag I now average 32/33 on my mk7 Gti dsg. I was initially concerned about the smaller fuel tank but it's not an issue. On a 70/80 mpg motorway run I can achieve 40mpg, which was impossible in the mk5.
